Zeta (ゼータ, Zēta?) (Ζήτα), formerly known as Lilim (リリム, Ririmu?), is the seventh initial member of Shadow Garden and the sixth seat of the Seven Shadows, serving as head of exploration and espionage. Out of dissent for Shadow Garden's direction under Alpha, she secretly founded her own faction with the intention of making Shadow an immortal god.[2][3]
Appearance[]
Zeta in her Slime Bodysuit
Zeta is a female Therianthrope from the Golden Leopard Clan, having blonde hair, large cat ears, purple eyes, and a long tail. Other's describe her as "beautiful", with special attention to her golden tail and ears.[4] Like Alpha and her ancestor Olivier, Zeta bears a striking resemblance to her ancestor Lily.
She wears the customary Slime Bodysuit with a large cape settled over her left shoulder in the light novel. A stylized jacket embraces her arms and upper torso and opens under the sternum, where a generous decolletage exposes significant skin. Her jacket has a short frontal length that ends around her ribs section, while the back continues to the length of her calves, with puffy fur accents at the collar and waistline, and a section of exposed skin along the hips stretching into the back region. She also has an asymmetrical legging, with two solid gold rings circling her right femur while having three parallel belts circling her left femur. In the light novel, her suit has frilled pant cuffs just before her heels. In the anime and game, her leggings don't have frills but rather boots with a V collar and cuffed endings above the short-heeled shoes with a simple gold lining over the metatarsal.
While exploring the world, Zeta dresses appropriately for the location she finds herself in, especially in the anime. For a jungle when investigating a pyramid, she wore standard khaki shorts and a jacket with exploratory boots. Another instance was her in a snowy tundra amid penguins, she wore heavy winter attire. While riding a fishing boat out to sea, Zeta can be seen wearing a cute sailor girl outfit similar to a schoolgirl uniform, but this look is more personal fashion than a location requirement.[CITATION NEEDED]

Despite being a Therianthrope, who is mostly known for being wild brutes, Zeta is smart and level-headed.[5] She has also shown to be a loner, usually doing her missions on her own and only cooperating on a team if the situation demands it.[6][4] Self-sacrificing to a fault, she attempts to shoulder all responsibility or consequences from those she admires.[2]
Powers & Abilities[]
Zeta has been described by Cid as talented, but she is held back by her own fickle tendencies, which prevents her from developing true mastery.[6] As the head of Shadow Garden's reconnaissance division, she naturally specializes in stealth and can operate on her own for extended periods.
Swordsmanship[]
Having an innate talent to learn quickly, Zeta presents proficiency if she didn't have the habit of discarding them shortly after using them, her Swordsmanship level would be at the same level of Alpha at least,
Magic[]
Zeta possesses the ability to turn her body into mist, allowing her to hide, move, and dodge deadly attacks thrown at her.[6] The attack can likewise be used offensively. Its gaseous state allows Zeta to invade users' bodies and cause internal damage or death through rapid expansion.[4] Zeta further demonstrates the capacity to alter the mist's state. By coagulating the gaseous power, she can generate numerous floating blades.
Her mastery over the defensive properties remains imperfect, causing preemptive materialization of body parts.[6]
Physical Abilities[]
Intelligence[]
Zeta has been shown to be quite calculating, always looking for the most optimal way to achieve her goals.

Trivia[]
